Will this webcam record my sons online gaming? He's wanting something that does along this line...trying to figure it out for his birthday.

unless he has it pointing at the screen, no it wont. its a camera, it will take pictures or video of what it is pointing at.

Online gaming is normally recorded within the system itself using programs such as Fraps. There are other ways of doing it as well, though in all honesty I am not extremely familiar with it as I only use Fraps myself. What is he using, is he playing PC games or something on a console? The recording methods differ for each. http://www.wikihow.com/Record-Video-Games

This being an analog camera needs a display card installed into a computer so that the image can be displayed on the monitor. From there I don't know how you can capture the image and send it via the internet but I suppose it can be done. However, why go to all of this trouble when you can purchase an IP camera (that has a noticeably better image) and utilizing it's IP address send it to any computer in the world. Additionally, the IP camera is the same price but also admittedly, it is somewhat harder to set up but with all of the help on the net you can do it....I was able to. Good luck but you really won't need it to get some nice video of the traffic in front of your home using an IP camera.

Mine did not have a camera. I bought the camera and installed it myself, but was so disappointed with the picture quality. I bought an external Logitech HD webcam for $50 and it is fabulous. So I probably wouldn't go back to the built in one except the one in my phone.

HE WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CAMERA!!! It does EVERYTHING!! Best camera we've ever bought!!! From close ups, to videos, and it has different colors to choose from, you can take a black & white and pick a color you want brought out in that pic!!! We love it!! I am always honest with my reviews!!! I have nothing to gain but helping you decide on a product!!! If I can use it and my pics come out clear, then he'll LOVE IT!!!! Hope this helped you!!

I personally have dell.. But I would try going into your computers devices and looking for updates you can download to make your computer compatible with the webcam.

Yes there is a web cam. It does not work as well as I would like why I do not know? It seems to be a little grainy? Why

Roger... The image quality on this is probably the best you can buy for a web cam. If you don't mind spending extra, just get the retail box model with the CDs and whatnot. There other plug and play items out there from Microsoft which will take all the guesswork out of getting a webcam going... just sacrificing a SMALL amount of image quality.

The Company going out of business really isn't cause of quality control.However,In my opinion,no. i would get him a mini DV camera or a webcam that's easy to set up. Webcam would be best as there's no time limit and it stays plugged into the computer...no need to remove or insert anything.It IS a great little camcorder, I use mine all the time, but to tell stories that are of any great length...I would go with a good HD webcam with a built in mic...most are built in these days anyways...ie: Microsoft Lifecam.

Sorry, I can't offer any feedback, but I found it funny that someone else is having the same dilemna with the same 2 cameras. So I will also be intersted in hearing any input as well. Is the video capability really worth it?

My wife uses hers for iTunes, and plays all kinds of online games on Facebook with this unit. She's very pleased.As for online chatting, the webcam is excellent! She's been using Skype is quite enthused. The webcam is optimized for low light, and actually looks better in a dim light setting. The kids will be thrilled.

What is the nature of your question? Are you going to buy one or do you already own one?The one I have does not seem to be able to record. I have tried several times and failed in every case. The unit apparently has recording software that can be accessed but not engaged. I think I hear a hard drive spinning... It could be a lack of ability on my part but I don't think so. There have been computers, digital cameras and assorted other electronic gadgets in my life for 15 years. - Lars

While I can't speak for this card specifically I can vouch for the fact that your theory works. I've done as much with most basic capture cards. Just make sure that you have multiple video outputs on your graphics card and connect one to your monitor and loop back to the capture device through a second output. The card should appear in your recording software as a capture device and I've used it to record full screen video, capture PC game play and once even live-streamed my PC desktop to a website.

There is a built in microphone, whether the one I use for skype and other things is the same as that one would use for gaming, I don't know. But, you can just go to start and look for microphone and find it there.

Worked for me using logitech webcam - Please run CPU-z app & reply how much TOTAL RAM YOURS has, & speed of processors. These appear to be falsely advertised specs?

The camera is just a camera with networking capabilities. Really iffy network capabilities. If you're looking for a reliable internet video link, look elsewhere. This is not it.
